I emailed the auctioneer a couple of days ago but haven't heard anything. Report this Post to the Staff

ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 8:20 pm I did a search for fido coin collecting and came back with a feeling that it is a acronym for Freaks, Irregulars, Defects, Oddities (coin collecting. So in coin collecting that pretty much encompasses an extremely wide gamut of what it in a collection. Off hand such a collection could contain just about anything. http://www.acronymfinder.com/Freaks...-(FIDO).html Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12342 Posts	Posted 07/12/2014 11:08 pm I attended the auction today. Each of the "FIDO" lots was available for inspection ahead of the start of the auction - there were quite a few coins in each lot. Most were minor errors and not really worth the time to image all of the individual coins. This was one of the times that "you had to be there." They did not interest me, so I did not review the individual coins. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
